Type: T cell
CD8+ T cells are "end effectors" of cancer immunity.
Cytotoxic T cells expressing cell-surface CD8 are the most powerful effectors in the anticancer immune response and form the backbone of current successful cancer immunotherapies.
CD8+ T cells, also known as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), play a crucial role in the immune response against cancer. They are responsible for identifying and killing cancer cells that present abnormal antigens, which can arise from mutations or viral infections.

IGF-1↓, RES administration (10 and 20 µM) impaired the migration and invasion of BC cells via inhibiting PI3K/Akt and therefore decreasing IGF-1 expression and preventing the upregulation of MMP-2
PI3K↓,
Akt↓,
HO-1↑, The activation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling by RES reduced MMP-9 expression and prevented metastasis of BC cells
eff↑, RES-loaded gold nanoparticles were found to enhance RES’s ability to reduce MMP-9 expression as compared to RES alone
PD-1↓, RES inhibited PD-1 expression to promote CD8+ T cell activity and enhance Th1 immune responses.
CD8+↑,
Th1 response↑,
CSCs↓, RES has the ability to target CSCs in various tumors
RadioS↑, RES in reversing drug resistance and radio resistance.
SIRT1↑, RES administration (12.5–200 µmol/L) promotes sensitivity of BC cells to DOX by increasing Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression
Hif1a↓, downregulating HIF-1α expression, an important factor in enhancing radiosensitivity
mTOR↓, mTOR suppression

3141- VitC,    High-dose Vitamin C inhibits PD-L1 expression by activating AMPK in colorectal cancer
- in-vitro, CRC, HCT116
Glycolysis↓, Vitamin C inhibits immune evasion by regulating glycolysis
eff↑, VitC suppresses tumor growth and enhances immunotherapy in combination with anti-PD-L1
PD-L1↓, We found that VitC inhibits aerobic glycolysis in HCT116 cells while also downregulating PD-L1 expression.
AMPK↑, VitC's activation of AMPK, which downregulates HK2 and NF-κB, ultimately resulting in reduced PD-L1 expression and increased T cell infiltration.
HK2↓,
NF-kB↓,
Warburg↓, Our research shows that high-dose VitC downregulating the Warburg effect, suppressing CRC growth
tumCV↓, After treatment with VitC, the cell viability of HCT116 cells significantly decreased
GLUT1↓, marked reduction in the mRNA level of glycolysis-related proteins GLUT1, PKM2, and LDHA
PKM2↓,
LDHA↓,
CD4+↑, Our research shows that high-dose VitC increases CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration in tumor tissues by inhibiting PD-L1
CD8+↑,
